This article deals with the judicial activity which took place on the eastern frontier of Granada at the end of the Nasrid kingdom. The source from which the data are taken is a dispute between the towns of Lorca (Murcia) and Vera (Almería) concerning the delimitation of their borders. This dispute took place during the sixteenth century. The information given by the witnesses is quite vivid and real. The witnesses were mostly elderly new Christians. Their testimonies provide a wide range of data on the activities of the qāḍi, as well as on those of the qā’id related to legal matters and they allow us to reconstruct the sphere of justice in a specific territory and specific time in the history of al-Andalus.
